Windows Media Player 11 lost all sound. Reinstalling does not solve. Uninstall does not uninstall.

Windows Media Player 11 lost all sounds (after a defrag?) Reinstalling does not solve. Impossible to uninstall before reinstalling (gives only a rellback from 11 to 11). Sound works fine on other programs.
The value OK volume control.

Hello KenLW,

Thank you for your message.  It does not sound like one or several files in Media Player have been corrupted, uninstall and reinstall should solve the problem.  Uninstall Windows Media Player 11 can be a difficult process.  Click HERE for instructions on how to uninstall WMP11.
Please let us know if it did or did not resolve the issue.
See you soon

    Hi Barbara,

    You can use the player to burn a mixture of songs from the library of the drive or your computer to an audio CD, after which you can play the CD in any standard CD player. Alternatively, you can burn files on CD and DVD data. It is not possible to burn the live streams, such as radio stations, on a CD or a DVD.

    Thank you.

    Flash Player has not directly render all audio on your system unusable.  It can not.

    If you have not yet restarted, I would start there.

    After the restart, if the problem persists, start by confirming this wiring to your speakers/headphones is correct, then move the settings of volume of windows, then Control Panel > sounds to make sure its good to output is used, then all Control Panel audio exclusive on the system.

    If this does not work, I would go to the control panel > add/remove hardware and uninstall the audio card, reboot and let windows re - discover it.

    If you're still stuck, I would call your computer manufacturer or the manufacturer of the sound card and go from there.

  • Microsoft should update Windows Media Player to play all kinds of videos and upgrade the Windows Photo Viewer to open all types of photos

    Microsoft should there be upgraded windows media player that can play any type of vedio.it will traditionally use media player to download other players instead. and also upgrad windows photo viewer to open all types of photos...

    The latest version of Windows Media Player that could open almost any multimedia file was version 6.4. Starting from this version, Microsoft have not been allowed to allow WMP to play almost any type of media file, and they were taken to court top.

    That's why Microsoft does not now permit. Apparently, the decisions of the Court are there to give other media players, including Apple stuff, a foothold in the market. I don't think Microsoft 3rd party codecs use same lawyer in case they have trouble.
